A USA hop previously known as HBC 369 until its release in 2012, Mosaic® is a new variety from the Hop Breeding Company, LLC. It is a daughter of Simcoe and a Nugget-derived male. Mosaic® is often compared to an amplified Citra®, with which it shares a respectable alpha content but a highly-desired oil profile as well. This unique oil profile makes it most commonly used for flavor and aroma. Its exotic, fruit-laden bouquet lends itself well to American-style IPAs, Saisons, Wheats, and Brettanomyces-fermented beers and is also a reliable workhorse for NEIPAs, Pale Ales, and Hoppy Lagers, but this stunning varietal will be a welcome addition in just about any style you brew.
Sensory is Complex and pronounced. Strong impressions of citrus oil, balsam pine, blueberry, peach and tropical fruit. Notable mango character, but also shades of lime and mandarin orange.
Alpha Acid: 11.5 – 13.5%
Use: Aroma/Flavor
